Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / January 2006

I use the Mac OSX "tink" alert sound for just about everything on my
Mac. A few minutes ago, I heard a "tring" sound that I'd never heard
before (like tink with several syllables, like a quiet phone ringing). I
thought it was a hardware problem or something and put my ear down

    I'm running system 9.2.2 on a G4 and using Eudora 6.1
as my mail program.  I'm in the process of migrating to OS
X (Tiger).  Several members of my family use this machine
and my idea is to get personally familiar with Tiger and

Whenever Eudora filters downloaded messages (IMAP), Eudora becomes almost
unresponsive. If I'm typing a new message, I have to wait until it stops.
It seems to me that this wasn't always so. Might have been before I updated

It used to be that I could get on line, write a new message and send

Has anybody heard anything regarding an ETA for Eudora 7.0 for Mac OS?  
The Windows version is out.  Also, any info if there will be better OS
X integration?  OS X has been out four years now and there should be
better integration than there has been for the past several releases ...

After I prepare a Eudora msg with some simple formatting (e.g., some
boldface or italic text markup), any way to Save it to disk, Print to a
file, or Copy/Paste the text to an app like TextEditor, with this
formatting preserved -- e.g., in Rich Text Format?

I have a number of smtp servers. One of my personalities requires a
login name, password and a different port number for the smtp server.
Is there a way I can configure this, while keeping my default port, etc
for other personalities?

is there any way to specify a different port for contacting the smtp server from within Eudora? At the moment I cant use my usual cable company smtp server because the cable modem is out for the weekend (again) because Time-Warner sucks. and, I can't send to my web server's smtp ...
